Using Your Macintosh
and Connecting Additional Equipment
This chapter tells you about the disk drives built into your computer and how you can
expand your computer system by connecting other equipment to it or by connecting it to a
computer network. The illustrations on the next two pages show the built-in drives and
connectors for additional equipment.
This chapter describes how to connect the following types of additional equipment:
m audio devices, such as a microphone, headphones, or speakers
m video devices, such as a video camera or video cassette recorder (VCR)
m external SCSI devices, such as a hard disk or a removable media drive
m a printer
m a second monitor
m additional ADB input devices, such as a trackball or a graphics tablet
m network cables and adapters
m security equipment to protect your Macintosh
Important Each device you add should be compatible with your computer and must not
exceed the maximum power allowance for that device. Turn off the computer before
connecting a SCSI or ADB device. For more information, consult an Apple-authorized dealer,
the manufacturer of the equipment you add, or the
Technical Information booklet that
came with your computer.
For instructions on installing internal equipment, see Chapter 3, “Installing PCI Cards,
Memory, and Internal Storage Devices.”
